Before leaving Markham, I was looking for a similar place to get tea drinks that I have been…read moreenjoying at Zeev's Nutrition (no sugar and lots of flavours) while in the Twin Cities. I did a quick search and found Hangout Nutrition. I planned on heading over there after my workday. My current trip is a combination of pleasure and remote work. Luckily, I start my day early and have the rest of the day to be a tourist. Google had this place open till 6 pm on weekdays. I left the hotel just after 3:30 pm and got to Hangout Nutrition six minutes after 4 pm. I parked. There is a ridiculous number of parking spots in the plaza and walked over to the store. My stomach sank when I saw that it closed at 4 pm on weekdays. I took a chance and tugged the door open. It wasn't locked. There was a customer ahead of me chatting with the male staff member. I was hoping that he'd take my order. He reassured me that he would never turn customers away just after closing time, which was great and much appreciated. I wanted a pomegranate drink. Besides the pomegranate tea staring at me on the menu, I asked him what other drinks had pomegranate. He advised that they would be in the level 2 drinks. He said that Captain America had it. I asked if Jolly Rancher did. Sure enough, it's a pomegranate drink with a pomegranate flavour boost. Sold! I ended up getting a regular drink. It looked like a large bubble tea with a plastic seal on top. I am so used to a gigantic drink that I'll need to upgrade to a mega next time. My drink was just over $5, which was reasonable. I paid with my credit card. Payment was smooth. I learned that this place used to be Hangout Nutrition before it changed its name to 6fifty1 Nutrition (651 is the original area code for Saint Paul). It then closed and resurrected itself as Hangout Nutrition last month. Cool! My drink tasted great. The pomegranate flavour was strong and yummy. It was refreshing as I sipped it driving over to get a workout in. I am a fan. I need to return and try more flavours. It's nice to get my tea fix away from home. (432)

I have been eyeing visiting this Nautical Bowls location in Eagan for a while. Last year, a Yelp…read moreexperience had me visit the location in Edina. I knew that I would enjoy a smoothie bowl here. This location is in a plaza. It's a few doors down from Papa John's, where I often get pizza the day after the Minnesota Wild win a game. I like 50% off large pizzas. There is plenty of parking at this plaza. I came here last month to pick up a pizza. I parked in front of Papa John's, but I was early for my pizza pickup. Instead, I killed some time heading over to this Nautical Bowls. It was surprisingly busy on an early Wednesday evening when I walked in. There was one customer ahead of me, which allowed me to take some time looking at the menu. The man behind the counter took one look at my Marc-André Fleury t- shirt that I was wearing, commemorating his 1000th game, with my Minnesota Wild front-zip hoodie over it, and commented on how he liked my outfit. It's good when you find a fellow hockey fan. It's even better when he's a Wild fan. I like that the bowls here are plant-based, gluten-free, and dairy-free. It's nice keeping things simple. I got the sunrise bowl. It had blue majik, pitaya, granola, banana, strawberries, and honey. I got the cruiser size, which was 16 ounces. I paid with a credit card. Bowls are on the pricier side compared to my usual smoothie bowl place, Bliss Acai. However, it's so much closer when I'm staying in either Bloomington or Eagan to get here. I paid with a credit card. Done! He went ahead with preparing my bowl. I took photos and looked around as I waited. I ended up signing up for loyalty rewards. I look forward to getting a free bowl someday. Goals! The man and I had a good chat about the Wild. He asked me about the "new Russian." No one can say his last name. It has more letters than my full name! His first name is Marat. It's much easier to say. He can win faceoffs and skates well. He agreed with me. We both didn't think that the Wild would make the playoffs. Sadly, we were right. There's always next year. He handed me my sunrise bowl. It looked yummy and pretty. I wished him a good evening, took a photo of my smoothie bowl, and headed to my vehicle. I dropped off my bowl and hit Papa John's to pick up dinner. I got to my hotel room and placed my smoothie bowl in the freezer while I had some pizza. I had my bowl for dessert. It was yummy and hit the spot. I love fruit. The banana and strawberry slices were so fresh. The blue majik as the smoothie base was refreshing and creamy. The granola and pitaya (dragon fruit) provided textures that made this bowl enjoyable to devour. I'd get it again. I had a wonderful experience. If you want a refreshing, healthier dessert option, get a bowl from Nautical Bowls. (159)

It pains me to leave a review like this to a black owned business in Saint Paul, but I am severely…read moredisappointed in my experience today. If this company has cameras with audio, I would encourage them to listen back to order 6525 that was placed today, March 19th, 2026 around 5:45 PM. I came to support this establishment because I have yet to do so since the opening, and was excited to contribute to the success of a black owned business. The grounds were clean, and the music was a vibe. I placed my order at the Kiosk, and paid nearly $25 for a $9 juice and $10 smoothie with tax. Both products were wonderful. However, that's not my concern. The service was without a doubt unprofessional and uncomfortable. The man serving the community today began to chat with me, catching up because we were familiar with one another from my previous employer. After asking where I was working now, he began to solicit me with job opportunities within Life Juices and on his own personal product line, offering me $500 to assist him with marketing. (Mind you, this is very similar to the conversation we had when I met him the first time, he let me know then that he's co-owner of Life Juices and also offered me job opportunities.) When I declined, he asked why do "black women" act like this or that (I don't remember exactly what was said) At this point, I'm annoyed and offended. After I respectfully read him his rights, I told him I don't want him to make my juice and I'd like my money back. He randomly referred to himself as a Pharaoh and let me know that he would begin making my order. As I'm waiting for my order, two other patrons walk up to place an order. The man serving took this as an opportunity to poke fun at me with one of them, saying I don't recognize a Pharaoh when I see one, and dapping up the stud. Now, I did my best to be a good sport. They began to joke that I don't even know what Pharaoh means. I decide that I'm not going to pay attention anymore. As I bend down to give my three year old juice, the patron leaned over to ask "do you know what pharaoh mean" I responded and said "it means King". She then returned to the conversation with the man working discussing how women need to do better when they see a Pharaoh (that's just a paraphrase) Now if you get a chance to listen to the audio, I was referred to out of my name during this conversation (meaning the b word) and I'm trying to figure out how did we get here when I just came to order some juice that I didn't even want in the first place- just supporting a local business. SMH I'm so upset, honestly. The audacity of these people to refer to me out of my name in front of my three year old son was so distasteful. The audacity to include this random patron that I don't know to poke fun at any person, but me..? a person who just supported your establishment. All because I declined your advances? If you're reading this, shame on you. Do better.

Contrary, the University area does not allow for a relaxing environment so this is a spot that I will forever grab and go. I appreciate what Life Juices is doing after revamping a run down Dairy Queen into a healthy storefront. Highlights include hand made items which take a little extra time so you know it's fresh, side patio with plants and small herb garden along with some colorful Adirondack chairs and unique items with a food menu in progress. Sadly, I had 1 homeless person ask me to buy items and it ruined the vibe. In addition, there were questionable activities happening while I awaited my order. Ordering is done on a kiosk with a vast array of choices from pressed juices to smoothie bowls to smoothies. I opted for a peanut butter protein shake with dates and it was so good! I also purchased 3 pressed juices. Each item is almost $10 and then there were $6 taxes? I thought food was tax free? Regardless, I'm finding out that eating healthy in general, is more expensive. I hope Life Juices is able to attract the population it wants as the area for me, is the wrong one but right product. I'll be back!

Ashley, who has whipped up healthy shakes and loaded teas at North Country Nutrition (NCN), let me…read moreknow that she was splitting her time between that location and Simpley Nutrition. She is the mastermind behind many of the yummy recipes at NCN that I was excited to check out this place. I dropped by during my first full day in the Twin Cities. Simpley Nutrition is located in Inver Grove Heights (IGH). It's perfect when I am on my way to Rochester. It's also nice to say that I have visited another place in IGH other than Target. This place is in a plaza, across from Cub Foods, including its pharmacy. I had no problem finding a parking spot steps away from the main entrance. I backed into the spot and walked in. I got to meet Ashley's husky, who has the most beautiful piercing eyes and greeted me so warmly. It was great seeing her again, but in a different nutrition studio. The cool thing is that she has the same December shake and tea menus at both NCN and Simpley Nutrition. It makes her life easier. It also makes mine easier ordering at either place. I forgot to ask her about the name Simpley. I know that there is a lake nearby called Simley Lake. I need to find out what the P stands for. I'm thinking Protein. I got the following drinks: - Christmas carol tea - Christmas crack (Heath) shake I also got a couple of cake batter donuts on the house. The idea is that you sign in on the touchpad with your phone number. I'm already registered in the system, so I selected my name and I was good. If you're new, you fill in your name to register and you're done. i paid with a credit card. I was able to tip, too. Ashley didn't take long to make my drinks. I asked that the whipped cream be held on my shake. Done! I thanked her, said goodbye to her husky, and headed down to Rochester with my drinks. The best part was sipping and finishing my shake for most of my hour drive down to Rochester. The Christmas crack shake tastes just like a Heath bar. I loved the toffee bits. There was some chocolate and chopped nuts. So good! It made my drive down great. I had my Christmas carol tea for the rest of my trip down to northern Iowa and back up to the Twin Cities. It had peach, mango, raspberry, and orange. I loved it. It had all my favourite flavours rolled into a tea. I like the sports jerseys that are framed on the walls. The Minnesota Wild is featured a few times, which made my day. It's a deep studio. I liked being there. It felt comfortable. I'll be back. It's great that I have another nutrition studio for no to low sugar in teas and shakes. (491)
